A medium storage box according to an embodiment includes: a cassette body having a storage space in which a medium is stored; a cassette door coupled to the cassette body to open or close the storage space; a door opening detection unit for generating an open detection signal when the cassette door is opened; a microcomputer for determining that the cassette door is opened when receiving the open detection signal, and for storing the determined opening information of the cassette door in a cassette memory; and a battery for supplying power to the door detection unit and the microcomputer, wherein when the open detection signal is generated in the door opening detection unit, the battery supplies power to the microcomputer.

A cash distribution method, a cash distribution apparatus and a financial self-service device. The cash distribution method comprises: suspending cash dispensing in case of abnormality when cash is dispensed from a mixed cash box; acquiring the balance of cash dispensed according to the cash distribution limit and the total dispensed cash; continuing cash distribution for the balance of cash dispensed to obtain a continuous cash dispensing result; and continuing to dispense cash according to the continuous cash dispensing result. The technical problems in existing cash distribution technology that increasing wear on hardware of a machine core increases the maintenance cost and consumes a lot of time, reducing the cash dispensing efficiency, can be solved.

A banknote processing device includes a first pay-out port and a second pay-out port in which banknotes for pay-out are stacked, a conveyance section that conveys banknotes to the first pay-out port or to the second pay-out port, a first opening-closing member capable of opening and closing the first pay-out port by moving, a second opening-closing member capable of opening and closing the second pay-out port by moving, and a controller that controls conveyance of the banknotes by the conveyance section, and that controls opening and closing operations of the first and second opening-closing members. When the number of banknotes stacked in the first pay-out port has reached a maximum stacking number in pay-out processing, the controller performs a switching operation to switch a conveyance destination of the banknotes from the first pay-out port to the second pay-out port, and performs an opening operation to open the first opening-closing member.

The present invention provides a medium processing device and medium transaction device that may increase stability by shortening a conveyance path. Namely, a banknote deposit/withdrawal device includes a conveyance section that forms a linear conveyance path along a front-rear direction inside an upper section block, in the vicinity of a boundary with a lower section block. An upper section storage box is disposed in the vicinity of a rear side terminal end of a rear conveyance section. Counterfeit notes are conveyed to the upper section storage box using a switching section. Accordingly, due to keeping the conveyance path length short, the banknote deposit/withdrawal device may reduce the frequency of occurrence of faults, such as banknote jams, and may prevent the circulation of counterfeit notes by storing counterfeit notes segregated from genuine banknotes, reject banknotes, and the like.

This paper sheet processing device (100) for processing paper sheets is provided with: an identification unit (55) for identifying paper sheets; stacking units (60, 210) for stacking paper sheets on the basis of the content of classification types identified by the identification unit (55); and a control unit (50, 135, 550) that reads, from a memory unit (56, 136, 560) in which an upper limit of paper sheets to be stacked by the stacking units (60, 210) are stored in association with the content of classification types, the upper limit for paper sheets that correspond to the content of the classification types of the paper sheets stacked by the stacking units (60, 210), and sets the upper limit for paper sheets to be stacked by the stacking units (60, 210).

A sheet processing apparatus including a table to be loaded a first and a second banknote group partitioned by a header card recording the bar code number in the piling direction of the banknotes, a take-in portion to take in the banknotes of the first and second banknote groups loaded on the table and the header card, a discrimination portion to count the banknotes taken in by the take-in portion and discriminate the kind thereof, a plurality of stackers to sort and stack the banknotes discriminated by the discrimination portion on the basis of the kink thereof, and a sensor to detect the header card taken in by the take-in portion. The sheet processing apparatus additionally includes a controller to control so as to stop the taking-in of the second banknote group on the basis of detection of the header card by the sensor and after a lapse of a predetermined time, to start the taking-in of the second banknote group.

A distributed system for tracking bank notes as they pass through an automated currency processing system is disclosed. The bank note processing system includes a conveyance device for transporting a bank note along a transport path and a detector module comprising a detector. The detector detects raw detector information from the bank note. The detector controller is communicatively coupled to the detector module and the raw detector information is communicated to the detector controller. A host controller is communicatively coupled to the detector controller. The detector controller processes the raw detector information to determine processed detector information. The detector controller then communicates the processed detector information to the host controller.
